Novus company profile

Novus' scientific roots and history originate in the 1950s
when St Louis, Missouri-based Monsanto Company began conducting livestock and
poultry feed metabolism studies.

In 1959, one of its products received FDA
approval as an animal feed additive, which helped launch the Monsanto division
that would become Novus.
In an effort to focus on its core businesses - seed, herbicide and
biotechnology - Monsanto sold its Feed Ingredients division to Mitsui & Co
Ltd and Nippon Soda Co, Ltd. in 1991, setting Novus on its path of Health through
Nutrition based on science.

With two products for the poultry industry and the vision of
helping to feed the world affordable, wholesome food, Novus International was
born.

At the time, this vision statement was considered a bold goal and some
questioned how Novus could realistically make a contribution. Although Novus
was a small, business-to-business company, we understood that our core
knowledge of health and nutrition related to poultry could be beneficial to
other species.

Since 1991, Novus has brought numerous products to the
market, including more than 100 over the past decade, and developed product
families including Methionine solutions, Trace Mineral solutions, Enzyme
solutions, Eubiotics solutions and Feed Quality solutions.
Novus’s comprehensive portfolio provides a holistic approach to solutions,
service and sustainability for poultry, swine, aquaculture and cattle.
